Frequently asked questions

Working with a specialist education marketing agency gives you expert insight into what works in schools and the education sector. Marketing strategies and campaigns are shaped by proven success and a clear understanding of the education market’s unique challenges, helping you achieve faster results and greater ROI.
What should schools or education businesses look for in a marketing agency?
When choosing a marketing agency, schools and education-focussed businesses should look for one that understands the education sector. It really helps to work with a team that’s experienced in reaching your audience, whether that’s parents and pupils, or teachers and school leaders, and can share a track record of results. You’ll also want an agency that fits well with your team and ways of working, and people you’d enjoy working with.
What are the most effective ways to market in the education sector?
Whether you’re marketing to schools, parents or recruiting teachers, it all starts with the right strategy. The better you understand your target audience, the more clearly you can show how you meet their needs and why they should choose you.

What is education marketing?
Education marketing is the practice of promoting schools, or education solutions within the education sector. It can be used by a business looking to reach schools and educators, or a school attracting new families or staff. Success depends on understanding your specific audience (parents, pupils, teachers or decision makers), showing how you meet their needs, and using the channels and messages that work for them to build trust, raise your profile and drive engagement.
